Deepest sympathy to Greg, Sue, and family, and also to all the extended McCarthy family, on the sad loss of your Dad and Grandfather.
I bet you all have lots of fun memories of times spent together, growing up in a large family. Growing up in a large family myself, when my Dad & Mum passed, we had lots of laughs and tears, around the table, as we reminisced about the fun times growing up together in a very busy home!
